Which inefficiency increases when combustion timing drifts from optimal during diesel engine cycles?

💡 Explanation

Delayed combustion timing causes incomplete fuel oxidation during each cycle because available oxygen decreases as the piston moves, therefore, unburned fuel emissions increase, rather than other effects, because the expansion stroke's efficiency diminishes.
